Description Patrick Ohly 2016-10-28 07:39:33 UTC 
With prelinking disabled (see bug #10518), there are still some differences between builds because of non-reproducible image creation, for example in /etc/passwd and /etc/group (order of entries is different).

Probably needs to be solved as part of core image building (Sorting the files after package install? Special adduser/addgroup which ensures sorting?).

This issue here is about checking that a full distro (like Ostro) has no unexpected changes during an update.
Comment 1 Patrick Ohly 2017-01-05 15:40:13 UTC 
See "[PATCH 1/1] rootfs-postcommands.bbclass: sort passwd entries".

I've not found other reasons for unnecessary changes during updates, so if that gets merged, I consider this issue resolved (for now...).
